Tera wakes up in her room, she sits up in her bed and looks around, acting as though she expected someone to be there. When she sees that no one is there she gets out of bed and walks down the hall toward the room that Cain is staying in. She opens the door and sees him standing, fully dressed in front of the window. As if he is waiting for something. Tera rubs her eyes, just to make sure she is really awake. "Cain, What's the matter?" "There is something wrong," He says, still looking out the window. "There are no animals. No owls, no insects, not even a cat. Something is coming... GET DOWN" As soon as he yells that, several explosions come from out side. Cain and Tera are thrown out into the hallway by a blast that tears apart the room they were just in. Before she can say anything Cain is gone and out the door.

Cain looks around, trying to see where the blasts had come from. Then he looks down the road and sees the source of the explosions. The light from the full moon reveals a creature like none Cain had ever seen before. The creature has a right arm covered in blood stained thorns. The left arm is covered in spikes. His hands are long claws with what appeared to be bayonets projecting from the wrists. Its legs had three blades coming from the shins. Shocked Cain could only ask one question. "What the hell are you?"There is one single response from the creature, "Kill Cain Rashya" As the words leave its mouth the creature charges at Cain and knocks him back into a building. Cains body flies through the wooden building like a bullet through a paper bag. Thinking that Cain is surely dead the creature slowly stands up. Then something begins to move in the building. The creature looks, and sees Cain pull himself out of the debris. Dusting himself off "You did not answer my question." He jumps out from the debris. This time the creature answers "I...am Neos...I ordered to...kill Cain..." "Well I simply cannot let you do that, I have a very busy week ahead of me." Unamused by Cain's joke Neos charges again. This time Cain is able to block its attack with his No-Di-Chi. But the force of the attack still sends him back a few feet. Cain recovers and counters with a slash at Neos. He looks to see if his blade had connected with its target and sees that his attack was a total failure. Then a ball of light and dark energy comes from the sky. Cain is unable to dodge it and is blown back into another building. The wooden roof over the deck collapses and lands on Cain. after a minute Cain pops himself out from the broken boards. Emerging from the rubble he looks to where the energy blast had come from and sees Neos floating in the sky with two huge white boned wings. Each of the wings is draped in a thin veil of black skin. "Oh come on! Now that is just not fair! But hell, if it is an air fight you want then it is an air fight your gonna get." Cain makes three hand signs. One of life, one of Fire, and the final of Re-birth. Flames rise from the ground and a pillar of flames surrounds Cain. At the top of the pillar is a sphere of flames. The flames around the sphere disperse in all directions, and a giant Phoenix emerges. "Now then..." a tiny smile appears on his face, "Phoenix, Fusion!" The giant bird flies straight down at Cain, and disappears. Then a wave of flames expands from Cain's body. From the burst of flames a red object shoots into the air. Cain has become enveloped with fire. The flames solidify and turn into armor, and two large flames from his back turn into wings. Now floating in the air with Neos. "Alright lets get this thing rollin sunshine." After that Cain charges toward Neos, who evades a quick slash and chases after Cain with a thrust of his claws. Cain disappears as the claws pass through a fleeting shadow. He reappears and shoots pasts Neos, cutting off his left arm and leaving the left side of his body badly burned. Coming to a stop a little ways past Neos, Cain turns and readies himself for a counter attack. Neos begins to laugh "You think a simple attack like that could kill me?" His arm slowly begins to regenerate. "I am invincible..."Cain smiles "No one is invincible, you just haven't been beaten yet." As he readies for his next attack, Neos hurls another energy blast toward Cain, who charges straight at Neos. The energy blast hits square with Cains blade. A burst of smoke and several waves of energy slowly fade away, revealing Cain unharmed, a few trailing cords of smoke wrapping themselves around his blade. His No-Di-Chi bursts into flames, "FLARE WAVE", Cain swings his No-Di-Chi and a long rope of flames flies through the air and wraps itself around Noes. Cain then turns the blade in his right hand, the edge of it now facing Neos. With a single beat of his flaming wings, Cain rockets toward Neos. He passes right through Neos, cutting him in two. The two halves of Neos begin to slowly burn, and then burst into flames turn to ash as they fall to the ground. Cain lands on the street, the wings and armor fade away and He returns the No-Di-Chi to its scabbard. "Nobody is invincible." Then Cain passes out and falls to the ground.

Chapter Three Part Two -Aeon Legends~Somewhere~"So you are going to send in Neos?""Yeah sure, I think this will be an excellent challenge for him.""What if Neos fails?""Then I guess we lose a "pet".""what if Cain is killed?""Well then I guess that my job is done...""I hope you know what you are doing."(whispers)"You and me both.""what did yo say?""Oh nothing..."

~In the city of Moray~

"So this is where you live?""Well not exactly, I live on the edge of the city." Tera says to Cain as they walk through the crowded streets."God damn it....""What's the matter Cain?""Oh its nothing, I just hate these crowded cities. There is absolutely no room to breath." Cain collides with another random person, she begins to laugh at his dumb reason for not liking cities."What's so funny?""You are, I mean its really strange. You have got the most exciting life that i could only hope for and yet, you can't stand to be in a place with tons of people." Tera continues to laugh at him."Hey look, shat ap ok! I like my wide open spaces, ya know?" Upon finishing this statement Cain collides into the back of another random pedestrian.

-A few minutes later-

"Well here we are!""where is here?""This is where I live...""In the slums?""HEY be nice. It might not look like much but you will like it.""Oh, and why is that?""There are very few people.""This place rocks."Tera and Cain talk to each other as they enter into the slums of the city. This section of the city seems as though it is infected. The streets are not filled with the usual sounds of an area were people lived. Although there are several small bunches of children playing various games in the streets there is still an odd sense of loneliness here. Unlike the other side of the city there are no venders or merchants, no people barking out deals and values, nothing. Even though the houses are kept as clean as they can be, that doesn't really help all to much.Besides that, all but one house seems to be in a state of depression."Well this is my house." Tera opens the door to the house, it has curtains, plants, and even a cat."wow, this is a big change from the others." Cain remarks aloud though he meant to say it only to himself."Yeah I know, I'm always trying to get people to cheer up, but they never do." Tera, now in the kitchen, replies to the statement."Teresa? Is that you?" asked a voice from the stairs.Cain looks to see who the question originated from. A frail elderly woman is the owner of the statement in question. From what Cain could estimate the woman was in her mid 60's and looked as though it took all of her strength to just ask that simple question."Yes grandma its me." Tera answered from the kitchen doorway.The elderly woman looks around and finds Cain, who has not moved an inch from the doorway."Hello sir, and who might you be?" Teras' grandmother asks as she begin to slowly make her way down the steps."Oh, um I am-"Tera, coming from the kitchen with some tea and bread saves Cain from making an idiot of himself. "Grandma this is Cain Raysha, he showed up this morning just in time to take care of some bandits that I happened across while I was out."After hearing this Teras' grandma looks over to him "Oh well then, I guess I owe you a debt of gratitude."Returning from spacing out, "Oh no ma'am that is not necessary, I was just in the right place at the right time.""Oh well at least come over and have a seat." The elderly woman motions for him to come into the living room area. "You have been standing there since you came."As Cain sits down on an old wooden chair Tera's grandmother begins to ask him, "So what were you doing out in the forest at that time?" She asked as she received a cup of tea from Tera, who had come out of the kitchen and into the living room.Cain is caught a little off guard by the question, "oh...um... I was out there...What I mean is that I am a bounty hunter and I was traveling through the forest on my way to the town of Narshe."At hearing this Tera shoots straight up in her seat. "Narshe!? Dont you know that place is the hideout of the Bandit Lord?!""Well I do now...""Wow... Don't you read the papers?"Cain scratches his head, "Um, no not really..."Cain, Tera and her grandmother continue to talk late into the night. Tera's grandmother looks at the clock, "My look at the time. I think we should turn in now don't you?" As Tera's grandmother begins to go up the stairs she turns back to Tera, "Sweetheart, why dont you show our guest to the spare room?"She nods and Cain follows her up the stairs to an extra room. The room is small but it has all that it needs, a bed. Cain right away walks over to the bed and falls down on to it. "Finally, a bed!" he says with a smile that can barely be seen because his face is buried in the pillow. Tera begins to laugh at him, again. "You really do like to laugh at me dont you?"She continues to laugh at him. "Well you shouldn't make it so easy." she turns and walks out of the room.

~1:00 A.M.~

Tera wakes up in her room, she sits up in her bed and looks around, acting as though she expected someone to be there. When she sees that no one is there she gets out of bed and walks down the hall toward the room that Cain is staying in. She opens the door and sees him standing, fully dressed in front of the window. As if he is waiting for something. Tera rubs her eyes, just to make sure she is really awake. "Cain, What's the matter?" "There is something wrong," He says, still looking out the window. "There are no animals. No owls, no insects, not even a cat. Something is coming... GET DOWN" As soon as he yells that, several explosions come from out side. Cain and Tera are thrown out into the hallway by a blast that tears apart the room they were just in. Before she can say anything Cain is gone and out the door.

Chapter Three part one- Aeon legendsNOTE: any words with '~~' are to be drawn out.NOTE2: thantos is a spirit blade that damages the soul, not the body.~In a forest~"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Ok, sleeping in a tree. Not one of my better ideas." Cain says to himself as he stands up and brushes some twigs out of his hair. "We~~ll, lets see if I can't catch me some breakfast."

-A few minutes later-"That's right, come on little bunny, take the carrot." Cain says to himself as he hides in a bush waiting for a rabbit to enter the cage he had made."Aaaaannnnnnd, Gotcha!"Cain pulls the string to let the cage fall. But the string, not being tied well enough to the release, comes undone leaving the cage still standing as Cain had set it. As the rabbit hops away with a free meal, Cain is left holding his string and looking at his empty trap. "Frick..."~Somewhere else~"Boss are you sure about this guy? I mean look at him, he's an idiot.""Maybe so, but did this idiot not defeat you?""Hmmmm, point made...""Now then about that, you underestimated him did you not?""Um~~, well..""You underestimated him and so you lost to him.""Well when you put it that way.""I will give to you two more chances, and this time study him before engaging in combat.""Fine, but how about this time I send him a little gift?""Do what ever you wish. I don't care if he is alive or not."

~Back in the woods~Cain, having failed once to catch something to eat decides to simply move along and forget about his embarrassing failure. Though within fifteen minute of walking he hears a girl scream from up ahead.Cain hears this and immediately begins running in the direction of the scream. When he reaches the spot where the scream came from he sees four thieves and a young girl."Well well, what have I found here? A little after morning workout?" Cain boldly says as he began to stretch his arms in front of him."Who the hell are you?" one of the thieves barks at Cain."Wow, you guys must be new at this, everyone knows who I am." With that Cain runs toward the thieves. With no time to react Cain is able to land a solid punch square in one of the thieves faces, knocking him out cold."I am the greatest of the bounty hunters, I am the one, the only, Cain Raysha!" he yells at the thieves while he jumps into the air and lands in front of the second thief, with a sweeping kick he trips the thief, making him fall on his back. Then Cain jumps up and lands on the other side of the clearing."What the hell!?" the third thief says in shock after seeing his buddies taken down so fast."This is just dumb luck!" The second thief shuffles to his feet, "We can take this guy, come on!" and with that the thieves all attacked Cain at once."EH!? Where did he go!?" "YOO-HOO.""What the!?" Cain had effortlessly evaded their attacks and was now perched in the tree above them."You guys are too much, did you really think that would work?" he says jumping out of the tree with a laugh."You guys are boring." Cain, now fed up with the thieves, reaches for his Thantos. He runs at the thieves, attacking them all at once. The first he hits in the chest with a punch. The second a boot to the knee, breaking it on contact. Then the third he attacks with Thantos, the spirit blade passes through his body and knocks him unconscious. His body falls limp and lifeless to the ground."DEMON!!!" The thieves scream as they picked up there friend that had been KO'D by Cain and run away as fast as they can."Well that was not nearly as much fun as I thought it would be." He makes a slow slash in front of himself and then returns Thantos to its scabbard.*snap*"what's eh?""Oh it is you." Cain says to the girl that he had saved as she emerges from behind the tree she had escaped to."Thank you" she says with a bow. The girl approximately 17, has long silver hair with a thin blue streak running through it. She is wearing a very casual looking blue dress with a green and red sash. She stands about five foot six and her skin is very soft and fair in color. Her eyes are a very soft and caring shade of green."Oh it was nothing, say are you alright?" "Yes I am fine." the girl begins to blush a deep and beautifully bashful red in her cheeks."You sure you're ok?" "Yeah, I told you I was alright didn't I?" the girl tells Cain in a playful harshness as she continues to blush."OK then, well how about I walk you back to town. Just in case those guys come back.""Oh well I would enjoy that." the girl tells Cain as they began to walk.

-some time later-"So um we have been walking for a while now and you haven't told me your name." Cain says to the girl as he helps her over a downed tree."oh sorry about that. I'm Teresa, but my friends call me Tera.""well then Tera, might I ask what you were doing way out here in the woods?""My grandmother is ill and I was looking for some herbs to help heal her."Cain goes silent at the mention of this.Tera notices Cain growing quietly distant from the conversation. "Oh, did i upset you at all?""No," Cain answers as he comes back into the chat. "Its just that I never knew my family. And you out here searching for herbs to help your grandmother, that is really nice."As Cain finishes speaking he and Tera come to the edge of the woods. After a quick little jaunt they arrive in the small and quiet market town of Morey.

I HAVE FOUND THE ONE THING THAT KILLED CHUCK NORRIS!!!!Bruce lee in way of the dragon killed Norris!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! finally! norris is no longer a god! cant wait to drop that one in the barrens chat!

Cain runs one hand through his poofy brown hair three times. Then he futzes with the blonde front of his hair a little bit. Pulling on the bottom of his white T-shirt to straighten it out beneath his white button down shirt with thin blue, grey and black threads running up and down the shirt. Cain does a few short hops to adjust his ruddy dark blue jeans with splatters of white paint on the right leg to the most comfortable position he can find. As Cain walks from the front door of his sea side home the hair on his neck stands on end, his heart pulses, and his eyes sharpen. Cain grabs his sword, Pandora, turns and swings it just in time to contact and deflect a fire ball that was shot at him. As the smoke clears Cain sees his assailant, a shadowy figure in the shape of a human, but with no face or other features, drifting through the air above his house. "Well, well, well. My employer said that you were good, but strong enough to defect my firaga. Very impressive." The Dark figure says to Cain as it applauds his efforts. "Who the hell are you anyway?" Cain asks returning Pandora to its sheath on his back. "Oh me?" Responds the figure as it floats down to the ground. "I am no one of any importance." The Figure lands on the ground several feet away from Cain. As the end of its leg touches the ground a small ring of dust rises and dissipates. "Could you at least tell me your name?" Cain questions, taking a suspicious side stance to his unintended guest. "Oh why do that? You wont live long enough to remember it any way." The dark figure ends with a small laugh. "So it's a fight you want is it?" Cain replies reaching for his katana. "Damn right" the Figure forms a sword out of dark matter that had projected from its outstretched arm. The weapon takes the shape of a long serrated blade, a spiked handle and guard, and from the end of the handle a shorter serrated blade. "and I have a busy schedule today, so why not start now!" the Dark Figure leans forward and flies toward Cain, its feet barely tracing the ground beneath them. As the figure comes closer, Cain unsheathes his Masamune, and counters with a slash. The figure blocks and then jumps into the air, firing several ice shards at Cain. He is able to dodge them by mere inches. As soon as the figure lands Cain is on it. He attacks with a series of slashes, the figure blocks all but the last slash which leaves it open to a hard kick in the chest. The figure stumbles back several feet, but recovers quickly to charge at Cain again. This time in a back and forth pattern. Cain is caught off guard by a fient attack and is cut across his chest from shoulder to hip by the figure's blade. While Cain tries to recover his footing, the figure lands a solid punch in his gut. Cain is hit hard, and he coughs up a little blood. But the figure does not stop its attack, it continues to slash at Cain, who is barely able to keep up and defend himself. Finally Cains defenses break, and the figure lands one final bone breaking kick in his breast bone. With the shear force of this kick Cain falls to his knees. As he falls, he grabs a rock and throws it at the figure, who easily dodges it. But as the figure turns back to finish his prey off, all it sees is Cains fist in its face. The figure is sent tumbling back head over heels and lands flat on its back. "What the hell was that?" The figure says in shock as it sees Cain, now enveloped in a vortex of light. "Oh sorry, did I forget to mention that my Masamune has an ability to boost the power of its user when the wielder is near death?" Cain says and disappears from sight. "What the hell!? Where did you go you little bastard!?" "Right here!" Cain says as he appears behind the figure and kicks the figure in its back, then he reappears in font of the figure and kicks it into the air. Cain disappears and meets the figure in midair, to send it straight back down to earth with a powerful over head swing of Masamune. The figure hits the ground creating a small crater. Cain follows up with a charge down to the ground to run the figure through. But it disappears just before being hit. Cain looks up and find the Figure floating in the air above him. "Well Cain Raysha, you proved to be a bit more of a challenge than i thought. Until we meet again." And with that the figure begins to fade away from its feet to its head. Cain returns to his normal state, as does his blade. "Frick man. Looks like this is gonna be a bit harder than I had hoped. Shit." Cain sits down and begins to bandage him self "Why can't I ever get an easy job?"

~A small corner room in a building~"CAIN WAKE THE HELL UP!" The boss yelled as he threw a book at CainÃƒÂ­s head."(yawn)Damn boss, what was that for?""You are always falling asleep when I talk to you.""Well I cant help it, you are boring as shit..." as he scratched his head a tiny smile appeared on his face and a laugh followed."God damnit, if you weren't so good I would fire you...." Boss said with a sigh."So what did I come here for again?" Cain said."You really donÃƒÂ­t listen to well do ya?" Boss told him, "You are here because you have been hired out to go and hunt down a guy by the name of Menrach. He is the leader of all the crime and gangs on the continent.""Right so when do I leave and where is he?" Cain said as he stood up."Well actually this guy is a class XIII Prime target. He is way to strong for you to take on alone." "WHAT!? Boss come on, I am the best hunter in the world, if I can't do this then who else can?!" Cain yelled."Well you are sorta right , you are only one of the five best hunters. The only difference is you are the only one still active." Boss told Cain as he reclined in his chair. "You are to find and activate these hunters." Boss handed Cain four folders."These here are the specs of the hunters. Names, ages, fighting styles, and last known locations." Boss said as he rested his chin on his hands."So....."Cain said with a dragging tone."What? thatÃƒÂ­s it, read up on the files and you leave in the morning."Cain got up and walked towards the door. Just as he was about the leave,"Hey Cain, good luck, and try not to die." "Oh, well thanks boss. That was nice." Cain replied with a smile on his face.And with that Cain leaves and returns home to prepare for the mission ahead.
